Word template RAFFLE TICKETS
I have opened the template Raffle Tickets, 5 numbered tickets appeared. I edited the information on tickets, however I want to create 200 or more tickets numbered in succession. How do I create more numbered tickets using the same info on the initial 5 tickets that appeared.
I am unfamiliar with the template. It is almost certainly set up as a Word Table.
The traditional methods of getting sequentially numbered tickets are to either use:
- the SEQuence Field . See Use Sequence Fields for Tickets and More and https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/7633-help-raffle-tickets-microsoft-word.html.
- Mail Merge with the numbers in an Excel or other data file. See Mail merge using an Excel spreadsheet.
If you are cutting your page into the tickets and placing them in stacks that you want sequentially numbered, the SEQ field method will make it easier handling the tickets.
If you are talking about this template...
Here is a temporary link to the template with simple sequential SEQ fields https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/foor4n4jg15svtn5fnndd/Raffle-Tickets-Sequence-Fields-Simple-see-readme-file.dotx?rlkey=0s69enwf7nir66jv2d1q45s8e&dl=0 . You would copy and paste the table to make as many pages as you need. Then select all and press F9 (Fn+F9 on many computers) to update the fields. (This one is not set up for making the simple stacks. The tickets will be numbered sequentially so that page 1 will have 1-5 and page 2 will have 6-10.)
Dealing with Fields in Microsoft Word
The name of the template refers to a Read-Me file which does not yet exist. I expect that at some point I will put it on my downloads page with the longer version that allows stacks that can be cut and a Mail Merge version. That will have the Read-Me file. (This is work that Microsoft should have done before publishing the template, IMO.)
